Board Preparation for Individuals

Just as athletes undergo intensive preparation and training for peak performance, physicians and other health science professionals need a strategic study plan for efficient preparation and success on their boards.

For busy professionals, finding the time and knowing how to maximize their study efforts is a challenge. So, a coach might just be the answer. A learning coach can help you create a successful study plan and offer “just-in-time” strategies to expand your learning potential.

Successful BOARD PREPARATION Practices is a unique program for physicians and other health science professionals developed by Dr. Linda Carr, a Medical Educator and Professional Learning Coach. Linda helps ease the board preparation process by assessing readiness for boards and providing resources and strategies to increase the chance for success. The program is based on best evidence practices as well as years of successfully coaching physicians in many specialties at various levels of board preparation.
